Purchased on a BOGO day and played it straight through. I have a couple other games in this series. It actually does have a storyline, even if the characters are rather shallow. It isn't very intense although it has a warning at the beginning of the game. Maybe I'm not too sensitive, considering my age and the state of the country now. I play these games as an escape. Give it a try; if it doesn't ...Show more

This is a story about betrayal, murder, and revenge...and a whole lot of missing doorknobs, zipper pulls, and emblem motifs! I'm pretty sure the betrayal part goes hand-in-hand with the murder part, he probably wasn't expecting to be murdered so who can blame him for wanting revenge?

The story is a mixture between American Horror Story: Summer Camp, and Friday The 13th...but nowhere near as intense, and definitely not as interesting (don't worry folks, it's only water) so maybe it's more like Sable Maze: Sullivan River, without the amazing gameplay.
 
I know everyone is expecting a "full report" on my review, but I'm not going to put forth a lot of effort just to be slammed by fraudulent No votes. Thank you for all your support over the years; I truly appreciate you!  :)

I raked away grass to reveal a grate and then could not pick up a knob nearby. I looked at the YT walkthrough and they picked up the knob first - but that should not matter. Do I really want to start from scratch. Ugh.
I don't recommend this game.

After entering the room with the sofa and broken chair, nothing happens and I was unable to get a hint or go any farther in this game.
I don't recommend this game.
